SAFETY MESSAGES

Procedures and instructions in this section may require special precautions to 
ensure the safety of the personnel performing the operations. Information that 
raises potential safety issues is indicated by a warning symbol (

). Please 

refer to the following safety messages before performing an operation 
preceded by this symbol.

Explosions could result in death or serious injury:

Verify that the operating environment of the gauge is consistent with the appropriate 
hazardous locations certifications.

Before connecting a HART-based communicator in an explosive atmosphere, make 
sure the instruments in the loop are installed in accordance with intrinsically safe or 
non-incendive field wiring practices.

In an Explosion-proof/Flameproof installation, do not remove the transmitter cover when 
power is applied to the unit.

Failure to follow safe installation and servicing guidelines could result in death or 
serious injury:

Make sure the transmitter is installed by qualified personnel and in accordance with 
applicable code of practice.

Use the equipment only as specified in this manual. Failure to do so may impair the 
protection provided by the equipment.

Do not perform any service other than those contained in this manual unless you are 
qualified.

A safety isolator such as a zener barrier is always needed for intrinsic safety.
